My husband allowed me to run one of his computers in my name for awhile so that I could be involved in the project.
It was an Intel P4 Willamette @1300MHz, with 128Mb of PC600 RDRAM.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
My husband's hobby used to be racing cars. Now, that we have a son, I'm grateful that he's so enthusiastic about a much safer hobby that keeps him at home.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
